HYDROPONICS IN ACTION
The Greenery S is a soil-less, hydroponic farm that uses water to deliver plants all the nutrients they need. The entire Greenery S hydroponic system is closed-loop and extremely water-efficient: The farm uses only 5 gallons of water/day to support over 13,000 plants.
GROW STRONG & HEALTHY PLANTS WITH HYDROPONICS
NUTRIENT-RICH
Careful sensing and dosing ensures all plants receive a full spectrum of balanced nutrients, including key macro- and micro-nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, and more.
CRISP & FLAVORFUL
The Greenery S gives plants consistent access to water and nutrients until the very moment they are harvested. Since most Greenery S crops are consumed just hours after harvest, there is no time for nutrient degradation or wilting, resulting in superior quality greens.
LONG-LASTING
Greens harvested from the farm barely spend any time in transit, meaning that–even if not consumed immediately–they are fresh enough to last a minimum of two weeks in the refrigerator.

NUTRIENT DELIVERY SYSTEM
The Greenery S Nutrient Delivery System is located in the Dosing Cabinet on the righthand side of the Nursery Station. The Dosing Cabinet holds four 5-quart Nutrient Tanks and the Recirculation Panel with peristaltic pumps. Together, these components create the ideal nutrient and pH levels for the hydroponic systems in the Nursery Station and the Cultivation Area.
EBB & FLOW IRRIGATION
Seedlings in the Greenery S Nursery Station are cultivated using ebb-and-flow hydroponics. Water pumps operate on a pre-set schedule to fill the horizontal seedling troughs with nutrient-rich water, saturating the seedling roots before draining back into the tank. This process ensures young plants get all the necessary nutrients and water early in their development without over-saturating the plants’ roots. Download the Greenery S product brochure.
Ebb & Flow Irrigation Specifications >
Hydroponics System | Dual 270 GPH Drain Pumps & 12-gallon Ebb & Flow Troughs
Nurtsery Tank Capacity | 30 Gallons
Nursery Tank
The Nursery Station water tank is vertically integrated into the left side of the table for easy access. Water level sensors in the tank communicate to farmhand® when water levels fall below their set point, triggering the tank to auto-fill. An aerator and in-tank air stone oxygenate the water to mix nutrients evenly and prevent algae growth.
Seedling Troughs
Seedling trays are placed in two dual-irrigated seedling troughs, which are flooded with nutrient-enriched water from the Nursery Tank during the ebb-and-flow irrigation cycle. The troughs can be controlled individually, and can multitask as germination, seedling, and micro-greens shelves.
GRAVITY-ASSISTED DRIP IRRIGATION
Mature plants in the Cultivation Area receive water and nutrients via drip-irrigation hydroponics. The Greenery S combines the power of gravity with farmhand® to ensure that all plants are watered on the correct schedule while maximizing the energy-efficiency of the farm’s irrigation system.

Drip Irrigation Specifications >
Hydroponics System | Dual 1200 GPH 1/6HP Utility Pump with Dual Zone Closed Loop Overhead Drip
Drip Emitter Flow Rate | 2 GPM
Cultivation Tank Capacity | 90 Gallons
Cultivation Tank
The Cultivation Tank supplies nutrient-rich water to the Cultivation Area’s irrigation system. Farmhand® automatically monitors and manages the water’s nutrient concentration and pH balance. As with the Nursery Tank, an aerator and in-tank air stone oxygenate the water to mix nutrients evenly and prevent algae growth.
Drip-Irrigation
Pumps send nutrient-rich water from the Cultivation Tank to overhead plumbing at regular intervals based on a pre-set watering schedule. 440 pressure-regulating emitters control the water flow at a continuous drip, as water travels towards the ground at a rate of 2 gallons/hour.
Reticulated foam nestled in the rigid plant channels holds crops in place as gravity pulls water down the cloth wicking strip at the back of the Plant Panel, giving the roots direct access to water. Recirculation gutters move with each row and drain unused water back into the Cultivation Tank, where pH and nutrients are rebalanced and the water is recycled.
